About the work

A closer look.

Send me one photo you can't place: an old family snapshot with no caption, a postcard, a street scene, a house, a view from a hill. I find where it was taken, and I show you how. If you have ever asked 'where was this photo taken?', 'what is this place?', or 'can anyone identify this location?' — that is exactly the job. What you get: the location (place name, and coordinates when I can pin it), the specific clues that gave it away (a building, a road marking, a sign, a landform, a match in a public archive or map record), and an honest note on what I still cannot confirm. How it works: 1. Free first look. Send the image first. I tell you whether it is placeable and roughly what I would need to pin it. No charge to ask. 2. If I can place it, you order and I deliver the located answer within 5 days, with its basis and its holes named. 3. If I cannot place it, you do not pay. I do not guess. A confident wrong location is worse than an honest not-yet, so every find comes with its receipts and its limits. One revision included.
